Trading margins of ASX-listed notes and bonds generally increased a little on average, with three falls and six rises. Margins of most securities in the sector varied within a modest range, with the exception of Peet Bonds (ASX code: PPCHB, -36bps). The large bid/offer spread of these bonds is responsible for most outsized weekly changes.
The current 3-month BBSW rate is around 0.90%. Add the trading margin from the above chart or from the tables to 0.90% for an estimate of the gross return per annum in the absence of BBSW rate changes. The gross return may contain imputation credits. BBSW typically is around 15bps (average since 1990) more than the RBA rate.
